Governing temptation: Changing behaviour in an age of libertarian paternalism. Jones, R., Pykett, J., & Whitehead, M. Progress in Human Geography, 35(4):483--501, August, 2011. ![Governing temptation: Changing behaviour in an age of libertarian paternalism [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex This paper critically examines new modes of behaviour change promoted by the contemporary British state, providing a critique of libertarian paternalism as an emergent form of government in the UK. We analyse the multivalent principles and mechanisms associated with libertarian paternalism. We consider the contribution of Foucauldian theories of governmentality and psychological power within human geography to a critical analysis of libertarian paternalism. Reflecting on the example of Manual for Streets (DfT, 2007) for re-designing residential roads in the UK, we conclude by explaining why libertarian paternalist policies could lead to the formation of more, or less deliberative public spaces.
